Interesting. My P5E will not post above 440FSB with any quad.
Maybe I have a good one :) or u have a bad one.
Somtime in the next few days i'll try for 4.1GHz :)
These are the settings that i'll be using:
FSB: 460
FSB Strap To North Bridge: 333 maybe need 400
Multiplier: 9
Vcore: 1.525v
CPU PLL: 1.8v
Not sure on what ram speed but somewhere around 1066MHz or 800MHz, if 1066 the timming will be 5-5-5-15 if 800MHz then 4-4-4-12
Everything else on auto, good old mobo working the rest out for me, allways works so far :D
I think thats everything. Tell me if I forgot one.
So what do u think of my settings?
BTW: i'm only aiming for Super PI stable, not prime or OCCT.
Got a quick question, im able to get up to 3.4 pretty easy but cant go any higher than that. Im still running an old dfi 965-s that after 5 minutes of occt the coils are rather vocal:D, should i continue messing with it or look for a newer chipset? (like x48)
Could be. I was able to get an E6750 to 514x8, above that, my RAM gave out and would BSOD on windows load. With quads, like I said, no post at all at 441 fsb and above. The Q6600 I sold recently was a VID 1.2250, so it was a good one.Quote:

I just remembered that I could get my mobo to post with a FSB above 405 before, then I uped the FSB strap to north bridge to 333 and it works great:yepp:. Have u tried uping the FSB strap to north bridge?Quote:

With my P5Q, I'm currently priming at 1.360v. Haven't tried lower.

Good to know that you've got a reliable mobo to work with your quad! Would like to know how high the FSB can go with this P45 board. :up:Quote:

If you are getting 60C+ watercooling, then you might want to reseat your waterblock. Because mine is barely breaking 50C with 4 primes running with a fusion v2.Quote:

No problem man, it would be a good idea to get a mobo, no matter the chipset, with at least a 8-phase pwm, something like LT/UT Lan Party, Asus ROG boards or something similar.:up: (won't add DQ6 series, don't like them very much)Quote:

Mostly vNB and VTT, also you may have to play around the GTL settings on both sides... easy with the vPLL as it'd damage the CPU in certain mobos (e.g. DFI LT/UT series).Quote:

3.6ghz ran only @ 1.5750 but not even 10 second prime stable, think I need 1.7v to get it stable !
Heat is not that high since I get 37 max on full load (TRUE-120, Akasa 1700RPM fan)
I've been non-stop working for 5 hours and read too much but no success, O/C on EP45-DS3 is really complicated and differs from other boards.
The board takes a little getting used to at first. Part of that is getting the strap set correctly for your setup. That's the two jumpers right by the pci-e slot. I set mine in the 266-333 position as shown in the manual. What bios are you on? There's a beta I'm using, A7514IMS.143 dated July, 28. I can host it for download if anyone's interested. Here are some screens... cpuz and load temps firstQuote:

I Don't think I've that jumper thing in my mobo, I will keep testing again today.
Thanks for posting your settings.
Yeah I suppose you wouldn't have those. It's an msi thing. Still strap is very important for oc success, experiment a little.

Then it just keeps freezing continuously between 5-10 minutes. Not sure how the hell it even pass 2 hours in the first place…
This is some scores I did with 1.28vcore a while ago with a 1.2125v VID (2nd pic has a long run prime):

Thats probably the extra fine tune I have on the DFi board in comparison to the eVga.Quote:

Yes, 1.28vcore is the lowest vcore achieved for 3.6 prime stable.Quote:

4ghz prime stable on air is possible, just not easy :)Quote:

OCCT stable in my system does not mean Prime95 stable. Try running at least 1h of Prime95 with the same settings. That would be stable ;)Quote:

Yours has a lower VID that mine so it's understandable to know why you need less voltage to get up to 3.6Ghz. The lowest I can try on my Q6600 at 3.6Ghz is about 1.35V and it's not stable.
well this isnt stable yet it fails prime about 2 1/2 hours in. and that was @ 1.304 VCORE
Silly question here, can you find out what the VID is from the box?
nope. Realtemp or Coretemp.Quote:

What settings are you using for 3.825GHz?
VTT/PLL...etc?
I don't know about him but mine (same board as you and with my q6600) @ 3.840ghz (480fsb @ 8x 1.480vcore) VTT=1.56, PLL=1.6, NB=1.26 and GTL 0/2,1/3=0.675 (I think auto is okay too) just to get it fully prime stable (blend,small FFTs). Hope this help, good luck!Quote:

While you guys are talking about the min. voltage, I have a question that I am sure has been asked 1000 times before. I just can't find it using the search function:
What is the max vcore (as seen in windows) that you would run this cpu at 24/7 under water.
My q6600 does 3.8ghz at 1.55V under load and doesn't pass 65C. I plan on improving my water cooling setup soon.
id say 1.55.Quote:

I have a xigmatek s1283 on it, but my ambient temps have been high lately, about 78-80f in my room. How are my temps looking?
I was also wondering if there is a way to lower my core volts and still be stable at 3.4 because at 1.35, one of the cores fails in prime. Is there any other way to gain stability for that?
Your temps look good. And I don't think you can get anything lower than 1.35 to get it stable since yours has a VID of 1.300. I would say try 1.4 and see if it works out for you.Quote:

Here is screen shot just before stopping Orthos which i just took this morning at 6:44am.
Also not sure why, but Orthos states it is at 4050mhz.. lol
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i5.../11hrs5min.jpg
I stopped Orthos .. as i say she is good enough. I usually do 8-10 hours of orthos (when ever i OC) and i have never had any issues afterwards, but one never knows as you can prime for 24hrs and still have issues later on, but 8-10hrs is ideal for daily usage and or 24/7 usage.
Temps were decent, but i must inspect The Thermal Paste and heatsink mounting .. as it appears at times ... 2 cores are 8-10C higher then the other 2 ... cores 0-1 is 8-10C higher when OCing then cores 2-3, but at idle they are only 1-2C difference.
Idle right now is 33-32-28-30
Well i figured i run this program now to see if i am actually 100% stable as i just ran Orthos for 11 hrs last night/this morning... post is above and it never errored out, but if you read in this theard ppl who primed 10 hours or so .. ran linkpack and was not stable.
IntelBurnTest
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=197835
Ok this program gets Cores HOTTER then Orthos Prime.
I need to figure out why 2 of my cores always read 10C higher then the other 2.
Linpack 0-1 Cores 84C and 2-3 Cores 74C Max.
Orthos = 0-1 Cores 74C and 2-3 Cores 64C Max. (Were talking like 2-3 instances of 3 secs of a Max of 74C)
Here is my test results just done 15 min ago and all is OK Residual result numbers 5 passes all same.
Also ppl read the read me text ... only use what free memory is available to use.

YAY this morning I managed to get passed a 455FSB, I only tryed 456, lol. I would have gone higher but i'm to scared to rasie of volts up anymore. The funny thing is that today when I got pass 455 i used lower volts and stuff then I was trying before, WTF :confused:.

My poor 680i was weezing and whistling like crazy.
yo here, are some screenies of my bios, Could I get some suggestions on what I should change/use and stuff..... I kind of guess and checked these settings up to this point, they are OCCT 7 HOURS stable, but sometimes it won't POST the first time, lol! I have a feeling it's my RAM...
Anyways, my goal is to have mostly my OWN settings, without AUTO... because I already reached 3.9ghz stable with mostly auto settings and I want to fine tune my system with my own settings to get some better performance and perhaps more stability. Suggestions please!

Well with my settings I got about 8 hours stable on occt, or however long I slept last night... And that voltage was just a guess voltage, cause I'm going higher then 3.6 for sure.
Lol @ all you guys with great chips, I can't even get 3.7GHz stable.
Be glad you don't have to set the voltage at 1.575 in the BIOS to get 400x9 stable (1.52V idle, 1.48V load LLC disabled).Quote:

Anything over 3.0ghz is being wasted anyways as not much utilizes any ghz over 3.0
Wowzer ...... i am 1.43v full load and 1.41v idle for my 3.6ghz.Quote:

This bad boy needs 1.368v for 3.6GHz, but scaling goes downhill very quickly after that.
Sure i can run and load windows as benchmark 3dmark programs at 1.38-1.39..... but it not stable.. prime and linpack ... so if it ain't stable it not a OC for me.Quote:

I could do 3.8GHz @ 1.464v no problem on my old chip no problem for everyday usage.
Yeah i probably could or hope to do 3.8ghz at 1.45-1.46 with this one, but in time i may as 3.6ghz is good enough for me right now.
By the way if anyone likes to see what settings i used for my setup. I just updated my signature to reflect my template i used for Bios 1103 and now same for 1201.
Good luck with 3.8GHz stable, most chips start to scale horrifically when you go past 3.4GHz.
Yeah thats what i have been noticing about Quad-Cores no matter what ones they are, but there is plenty of ppl at 3.8ghz on them and stable ... so its the luck of the draw is all.
I wish my temps werent 70c at 3.6 with 1.45v. I would run that 24/7 but im at 3.4 with 1.375 for daily use :(
70C load is perfectly fine...
Is that 70C idle?
If it is full load ... i not like 70C either, but i max out now to only 63C-65C on core 0 is all and the rest of the cores are lower by about 2-3 degrees.
With my 3Fan Push 1Fan Pull I get 65C LOAD... I have crazy high ambients though. (1.36v)
Low VID chips are real hotties.
My 1.3125v VID chip only hit 68C on 1.44v with worse cooling.
